In this video tutorial from Potomac Bead Company, Allie teaches you how to make her simple "BohBow" earring design using Potomac Bead Company's new "BowTrio" metal bead.
Prepare the Knotting Cord: Cut a 10-inch piece and apply Super New Glue to the ends to stiffen.
Add Matubo Beads: String an Aztec gold 6/0 seed bead, followed by turquoise Matubo beads on each side.
Incorporate BowTrio Beads: Face the beads inward and thread the cord through the holes, starting from the top and moving to the center.
Add a Large Hole Pearl: Thread the cord through a 9mm pearl, crossing in the middle to create a "harp" effect.
Finish the Earrings: Loop the cord through the bottom hole of the BowTrio beads and add an 8/0 seed bead to each end. Tie a knot and trim.
Attach Ear Wires: Use a jump ring to connect the ear wire to the top of the earring.
Create the Necklace: Follow a similar process, adding charms and tassels for a complete look.
Create a double or tripple leather wrap with an extra flair. Use seed beads to create a delicate border to showcase a mosaic of gemstones, crystals and glass. This wrap is comfortable to wear and makes a great piece to take (or make) on a summer vacation destination.
